The Mizo National Front (MNF) today demanded a CBI inquiry into the alleged misappropriation of funds in the state Lottery department.

A MNF press statement said that the party had submitted a memorandum to Lal Thanhawla on May 17 asking him to give investigation of two scams involving Mizo Carbon Products and the State Lottery to the country's premier investigating agency.

"The state chief secretary Lalmalsawma issued an order on June nine last ordering an investigation to the alleged corruption involving the Mizo Carbon Products by the state ACB," the statement said, adding that the order left out investigation to the State Lottery Scam.

The MNF said that the party would follow the cases till their logical conclusion.
